He died from fever, not assassination.

[ Damian is just a little too smug when he answers. ]

What twelve-year-old has seen what I've seen, done what I've done? I'm a child in age only, but a soldier in everything else.

[ Proud of it, too; he's capable, independent, on equal footing with the adults around him. He doesn't need to be protected, or coddled.

And, when it comes to himself, he doesn't recognize the horror of it: innocence hollowed out by the time he should have been first setting foot in kindergarten. Doesn't understand why his own father finally looked at him on his return to Gotham and saw, with certainty, that he was broken. ]

[earlybird]

[ He fully intends to bite back: that he is just as capable a hero as his father, that he will be even better, that he accomplishes what he does just fine with fists and feet and doesn't even need the tricks his predecessor's relied on to survive, but what comes out instead-- ]

I'm not a hero.

[ His jaw clenches at the slip. ]

Keep talking, Scarecrow. I'll make you eat every last word later before you're back behind bars.

[earlybird]

...Enough.

[ An ominous answer, in true Bat tradition, but also one that speaks for itself when it comes to John Constantine. Synonyms include: 'nothing good,' 'too much,' 'Mother would be scandalized,' and 'strangely if horrifyingly impressive.' ]

[sassguard]

Call it ... superstition.

Stepladders are equally as important and valuable as any ladder. Step is an adjective, not a way of life.

[...what she can be honest and sassy all at once]

I really want people to have fun with me!

[She blurts.]

I dont wanna have to think about the tough stuff all the time. I just wanna have fun while I'm here, y'know? Doesn't that make everyone's life easier?

[restingstitchface]

[He doesn't speak for a while, not out of caution or fear but assertion. There is nothing bordering danger in this, for him.]

Arrogance and brutality. The bully's weapons of choice. And like them, you have no idea how to act like a normal child. [He clicks his tongue in his cheek.] I'll expect you to be punctual, at least.

[And with that he'll switch his camera off. Try getting the last word now, bird.]

[restingstitchface]

What they see and what they hear depends on the sorts of people they are. Some catch onto my opinions, of course. But they hear what they want to hear. I'm an easy target, a strange person who doesn't need their approval. It's easier to dismiss me than to accept my honesty.

[4thdimensional]

Someone important to you, then.

[He gives Max an encouraging smile.]

I can only imagine how much you must miss him.

[aboveand]

[Drat. Worth a shot. Oh well.]

Kids are supposed to be allowed to be kids for a reason. Social skills, for starters.

Okay, so one day this crime fighting squirrel shows up out of nowhere, right? She's calling herself 'Girl Squirrel', which is a total rip-off, she's wearing an (admittedly) cute outfit with a little tiny cape and a robin-hood-lookin' hat, and she's fighting crime and can talk - not just to me, but to everybody! And people are head over heels for this super squirrel! They think she's great!

... Until it turns out she's actually the norse god of gossip and trash-talking, and she runs around New York in the middle of the night whispering horrible things in people's ears, brainwashing them, and making them fight each other. There were angry mobs all over the place, I had to beat up the Avengers, and eventually Lady-Thor, Odinson-Who-Used-To-Be-Thor, and Loki helped us take her down.

TL;DR, Ratatoskr is a friggin' jerk.

[pummelgranite]

[ Softly, but with a great deal of passion: ]


What the fuck.

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

I know, right?! Ripping off my name is one thing, I can deal with that, but inciting mob violence so you can bring about the end of the world? Who even does that!

[pummelgranite]

. . . how does just pissing people off with rumors end the world?

[magnitudes]

Yeah. Spectacularly.

What about you, weirdo?

[magnitudes]

I don't know.

( Admitted, very quietly. ) Can you be stuck by his side until he's locked up?

[magnitudes]

Is that because of you doing shit, or because of external forces?

[earlybird]

I have social skills.

[ He does. Look. He's talking to you just fine. ]

[eatsnutsandkicksbutts]

Mob violence, yo. They were setting buildings on fire and everything. She started out small, but her plan was to escalate to a much larger scale. Like some kind of jerk-induced plague.

[hardedged]

[ a long pause, then she licks her lips. ]

Sure. [ so nonchalant. ] Nothing better to do.

[textualhealing]

Okay but. If he showed up... would that be us done with? Like, is he always the top option here?

[pyrogue]

You care a lot, Leonard Snart. And that's why I love you. [ whoops forced honesty means honesty with feelings too ]

[snarkbot]

He was upset and mourning anew for Ted Kord. Visiting Mr. Kord in the past was too much for him. I hope that when I return, if I return, he'll be able to move on.

[ Forced honesty really is the name of the game, it seems. ]

[snarkbot]

I see, thank you. Would you answer that question if you weren't forced to?

[itistolaugh]

He's... It's not always up to me. I'm. Better at saying no to him than I used to be. But it's never stuck. So. I'm sorry. I don't know.
